A photo of a seated man in saffron-orange robes and a saffron shawl, bald-headed, wearing rimless glasses, a red tilak on his forehead, rudraksha-style beads and a gold bead necklace, sitting cross-legged on a mat beside a brass plate holding a banana, flowers and small brass items, and a brass cup and bell. Behind a metal railing, several people in white and yellow shawls sit with palms pressed together, with brass lamps and plates visible. A man's bald head is partly visible in the lower right foreground. Seated person's identity is unclear from appearance, so the figure is described by role as a robed sannyasi.

Two shaved-headed men in rust-red and orange robes sit cross-legged on a white cloth in an indoor hall, with curtains behind them. The man on the left wears dark-rimmed glasses and a long rudraksha mala over his shoulder, with a beaded bracelet on his upper arm and a horizontal white tilak on his forehead. The man on the right, also wearing glasses and a rudraksha mala, has white ash bands on his forehead and arm, a gold-edged dhoti, and a gold wristwatch, and his hands are folded in his lap. Yellow marigolds lie at the lower left and a small white device sits on a wooden table at the right. A partly visible person in orange robes sits at the far right edge. No recognizable a person candidate is clearly established by the visible cues, so the identity is left uncertain.

A shaved-headed man in a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl sits cross-legged, wearing many strands of orange and rudraksha beads, a rudraksha armband, and a pendant on a chain. He has white horizontal tilak on his forehead with a red dot, and white stripes on his arms, and holds a small brass spoon in his hands with eyes lowered. Behind him, devotees in white and orange sit in a hall. Appearance-based a person with rudraksha mala and saffron clothing; the scene suggests a ritual or satsang setting.

A smiling, shaved-headed man in thin wire-rimmed glasses sits at the centre of a gathering, wearing a saffron-orange sannyasi wrap over bare shoulders and a dense necklace of brown rudraksha malas with a small pendant. Around him, people laugh and smile; one man on the left raises a hand and wears beaded malas, a man behind wears an orange garment, and a man on the right wears a white embroidered kurta. A white plastic water bottle with a pink cap sits in the background. The appearance is consistent with a sannyasi in a saffron wrap and rudraksha malas, but the page does not establish a clear identity from the image alone, so this is recorded as an uncertain candidate in person.

He holds a lit flame in his right hand and a small brass bell in his left, with brass plates, bowls and a small lamp arranged on the floor before him as part of a puja.
